Two interesting Tele-style guitars

[Thundersteel]

I never really liked the Telecaster; the shape seems odd to me. However, these two have me intrigued. No affiliation.

 

1. RS Guitarworks "Knot Perfect"  $3596

 

2. Giroux "Mosaic Standard" $1,200

Those are neat ! I'm in the middle of a Warmoth Tele build , it should sound great when I'm finished . Teles are pretty versatile .... and screamers when you learn their quirks .

Wow..#1 is growing on me quickly..that is really beautiful and organic

Definitely liking #1.  I'm assembling parts for a partscaster with no pickguard.  The body I bought has a beautiful flame maple top so I want to show off as much as possible, but I need to figure out what I'm going to do about the front pickup.  I'm not super fond of no trim ring, but I don't like how the trim rings look either.

RS is very good stuff.

Here's my stable's favorite nixer and mixer ... nitro'ed ash (one piece and featherweight) with deeper 70s'esque belly and arm cuts; and P-90-like custom winds direct mounted into unmodified Tele footprints.

I didn't care much for 'trim-ring' Teles either, until I got this one on impulse about two months ago...IMO, the hardware looks good on this particular color.  The fact that it's a two-piece ash body didn't hurt, either:
